"Jeff, I owe you a huge thank you. During the last school year you spoke at my school. During the assembly you talked about how we young people need to "Take Time To Think", and honestly at lot of our minds were on other things during that because it was the same day as our prom. I tried to listen attentively, but much like any other high school senior, I zoned in and out. Some of your stories stood out and others were over my head, but honestly, I did get something out of your talk that day. It has to do with the wristbands that had that quote on it. As I was getting ready for prom I thought a sweet white wristband would look so cool with my black pinstripe tie so I put it on not knowing how it would influence me later.
The prom was an awesome time and the after prom was just as fun. The after-after prom was where some problems arrived. I was asked to go camping with a few other couples after prom, and I knew these kids pretty well, or so I thought, and I decided to go. From what I knew these kids did not drink or do any drugs, so I thought we would all just have fun. I myself had never drank, and still haven't to this day. We all arrived to the place where we were camping and we started to hang and have fun. All of the sudden beer started being poured into glasses and cups on the table. I was offered a glass, and I know this may sound cliché but before I answered I looked down at my wrist and the wristband said "Take Time To Think", I knew at that moment I had no right being at that party, I needed to get out of that situation. Thanks."
